Nano Quest, Ten-Bagger Quest: 'The Destruction and Rebirth of 100 Yen' — A Record of the Heat and Cold of Creation —
I would like to look back on my feelings about participating in this project.
Project Overview
Quest Participation Flow
💰 Participants, please purchase this article. By doing so, you will be recognized by the organizer as an official quest participant.
💰 I will set a deadline, so please write a '100-yen article' by then.
💰 Once the article is written, please post the 'link' in the comments section. (If necessary, please include the highlights of your article.)
💰 The organizer will 'definitely buy' the articles of official participants. (I will still buy them if they are late, but please understand they will be excluded from the judging. In that case, let's coordinate on when you can write it.)
💰 Once the organizer has finished reading all the articles, I will write an introduction article and announce the 'winner'.
💰 I plan to give the winner a 1,000 yen tip as a thank you for making the project the most exciting.
Application Requirements
Participation is possible at any time.
Number of participants: around 10.
Application deadline: until the end of May.
Results announcement: scheduled for early June.
Genre: Any. Content aligned with monetization and 100-yen articles is preferred.
Two designated tags:
#NanoQuest
#TenBaggerQuest
For some reason, I wanted to participate,
I didn't really understand the two designated tags either,
selling the finished article for 100 yen
I didn't really understand that either.
For now, I just
wanted to test
how much I could do right now.
Even without thinking about such things,
I thought I could do it.
What happened?
I was crushed.
First, the two topics.
I didn't know what to do with this framework.
I created a story,
and tried to force my way through it.
I thought I had shaped it in the end,
but
the next problem was...
Selling the article for 100 yen.
This.
When I saw this,
I despaired.
Will this sell?
I wouldn't want to read it.
Then, who would read it?
So I wrote even more of the article.
I thought it still wasn't enough, but
I was tired...
I felt like I couldn't do other things I wanted to do
because I was only thinking about that.
It's just 100 yen.
Why do I have to worry about it this much?
I submitted it.
I thought, this is fine now...
After I submitted it,
another participant's article was posted.
I thought, I should at least take a look at other participants' work,
and when I saw it... !?
I laughed. When I saw that work, I laughed out loud.
Overwhelming volume, overwhelming quality, a considerable amount of the free section was released, and even from the paid section
still 13,000 something...
What is...this? What is this?
This work... it's alien!
I laughed and went to sleep that day.
When I woke up the next day, I wanted to write.
This person had composure,
and I wanted to crush that.
But how could I crush it?
I first released the paid section in stages.
I thought I would reset it to zero and compete from there,
but even so,
I felt I hadn't reached it at all.
I didn't know what to do,
but I aimed for the character count of the opponent's paid section,
13,000 characters.
It felt like a long way off, but
I started writing.
While explaining the process of my conflict here,
why I started writing again, why I lowered the paid section,
and so on, I was writing.
I felt that Hunter x Hunter was an appropriate analogy,
so I remembered that story one by one from the beginning
and wrote it down.
What happened?
I became absorbed in it.
In depicting the world of Hunter x Hunter.
I was able to write in quite some detail,
but
I was worried. Selling this for 100 yen.
The act of selling.
I was worried about copyright.
When I showed what I had written to GPT,
I felt it might be OUT in terms of copyright.
I despaired.
Well, of course.
This article is a transcription of Hunter x Hunter.
Of course it won't sell.
But I had fun.
I was able to immerse myself in that world,
and I was able to give it shape.
And then I had nothing again.
My heart was broken.
I decided to quit.
I returned to my daily life.
For some reason, it came to me, even though I had been worrying so much,
my heart felt lighter.
And then I posted it... I felt refreshed.
Final words
I did well.
The curry person was amazing; I was overwhelmed.
Lastly,
Thank you for the project, Ki-ing-san.
Thank you very much.
And thank you for your hard work!
